Vista - Installed Games

I have a new Dell Latitude running Vista. I cannot find any "factory"
installed games, e.g., the old standbys of Soliaire, Hearts, ect. I have
looked in the Games folder and it is empty. I have done game searches and do
not get any results. What am I missing or did these not get loaded?

Thanks for the hel[

Which version of Vista are you running ??

If you have business edition you have to manually install the games.

Go to control panel, click program files, click windows components and you
should see a box to check for games

I have the new factory installed games, and am trying to find out how to
copy the old hearts and solitaire from xp. The new ones are slow...and they
suck.
